Goddess Saraswati grabbed me
and will not let me go!
We are plunging over the cascades
crashing onto the roiling river,
charging onward toward some Ocean, they say,
but I have never seen, oh Shyama,
what am I, your seeming child, supposed to hold onto?
This pure Energy, this overwhelming Power,
this supreme Force has swept me totally out of control
and Yes! I say it, I pronounce it, I am helpless
in this unnamable and forever unnamed.
Oh Vak, I give up! Divinest Beauty,
sacred-most Knowledge, treasure of Language,
subtlest music of Creation—these pitiful words
will never crawl anywhere near
the nearest edge of what you Are.
And I who have always been your adoring slave
am now nothing more than yours.
Oh annihilating One!!!
Oh Goddess!!
